MAP READING Latitude and Longitude

LATITUDE  Imaginary lines running East/West  Measure North/South of the Equator (0 o )  Splits Earth into Northern/Southern hemisphere  Called parallels  North Pole = 90 o N  South Pole = 90 o S  Parallels are spaced 111km apart

LATITUDE CONT.

LONGITUDE  Imaginary lines running North/South  Measure East/West of the Prime Meridian (0 o ) Prime Meridian = Greenwich, England  Splits Earth into Eastern/Western hemisphere  Called meridians  Numbered 180 o both East and West from Prime Meridian (0 o ) 180 o = International Date Line

LONGITUDE

PRIME MERIDIAN  The Prime Meridian (0 o ) and the International Date Line (180 o ) split the Earth into the Eastern and Western hemisphere Places located East of the Prime Meridian have an Eastern (E) longitude; places located West of the Prime Meridian have a Western (W) longitude.

 By combining latitude and longitude, any location can be pinpointed.

 A location’s coordinates: ( ____ o N or S, ____ o E or W)

APPLICATION  North America is in the Northern Hemisphere because it is North of the Equator. North America is in the Western Hemisphere because it is West of the Prime Meridian.
